Scholarship Policy
PDF Version
The AFP North Central Ohio Chapter
fosters the professional development of fundraising professionals
and promotes high ethical standards in the fundraising profession. It
is the Chapter’s policy to use a portion of our net assets to offer
scholarships for fundraising professionals in the ten counties we serve
to increase their professionalism, knowledge, and skills by attending
professional development meetings and conferences.
